Dave Liu a 30-Year Veteran of Wall Street and Silicon Valley. He’s an entrepreneur who has started four companies, advisor who has raised over $15 billion for hundreds of companies, and investor in multiple billion dollar companies. He’s worked with many of the iconic tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Yelp, to name a few, and he’s been involved in great tech companies like Internet Brands WebMD. He's passionate about advancing new ideas in technology and entertainment. He’s invested in A.I., SaaS, and backed movie and film production companies like Stampede, started by Greg Silverman of Warner Brothers, and Vivek Tiwary, Grammy and Tony Award winning producer of the Broadway show Jagged Little Pill. He started his career as an investment banker at Jefferies & Company, one of the world’s leading investment banks, where he rose from the “janitor” level of Analyst to head honcho Managing Director and Co-Head of all Digital Media and Internet activities. He was one of the youngest MDs in the firm’s history and one of the only MDs of color in an industry dominated by Caucasian men.
He’s also a big believer in giving back and supports philanthropic causes for disadvantaged groups. He is involved with Smile Train, an organization dedicated to helping kids born with clefts, and is very active in the Asian American community.
